Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, several residents have faced hard times and food insecurity. Many groups, including the Hazard-Perry County Community Service Group, have stepped up and continued to provide for people in need, along with community partners. Becky Stacy, the administration and advocacy director of Appalachian Early Childhood Network, presented at the Feb. 24 Rotary Club meeting. During her presentation, Stacy told club members about her work with the Hazard-Perry County Community Service Group in hopes of gaining additional support. âI taught kindergarten for many, many years. One of the things we made sure we did was try to teach them to have a heart for serving,â said Stacy, explaining that as a teacher, she had students fill Blessing Boxes in the community, raise donations for the Hope House Homeless Shelter and collect donations for care packages to give to patients at local medical facilities.
